If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :) -

Unfortunately it doesn't matter. Those who hate rap/hip-hop (since rapping is just the action, or lyrics, rather than the beat) will never see that there is a wide range of it out there, and dismiss most of it as "bitches and hos music". Nothing can be said to change their minds.badComment

I agree most rap now-a-days is pretty much garbage. I think if they'd get rid of these flashy videos they would make things a whole lot better."Solutions rarely come from the same minds as people who cause the problems"Comment

It has nothing to do with nowadays, the rap that's played on the radio is garbage and all the quality rap that is out isn't getting played.Originally posted by BlzerLet me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

If you are watching MTV for your "rap" fill, or to try to pick up some new songs there is one of the problems.
Sure, every once in a while a T-Pain remix will get stuck in my head but for every song of his that I like, there are people like Common, KRS-One, etc. that all deserve their recognition.
jmood - to be fair, you can't say the rap that gets played isn't good rap. It sells CDs, because it's catchy. Don't hate people for getting paid. In music - to each their own, and the masses speak.badComment

Mood, the way I see it...
There is good hip hop out there, it's just a matter of not listening to the gunk on the radio and going to find it. There are people that don't want to find it, whether it be laziness, not realizing this to be the case, or just flat out aren't interested. That's the way it is, but to those that actually do go the extra mile to listen to good hip hop, good for you. I found out a long time ago there's no convincing people that it exists, it's something everybody needs to find out for themselves.Comment

I can say that it isn't good because it isn't. And if you play the same 15 songs every hour on the radio and play the same videos then people are going to buy what they see and hear. Their music is terrible and all it has done is push this stereotype that rap is all about money and objectifying women. I don't know about other radio stations, but the big "urban" station here even has a playlist on their website, they don't even try to hide the fact that they play the same songs every hour.badComment

50 doesn't care to rap anymore, after he botched his BET fan vote song, he stated it doesn't matter anymore vitamin water ladies and gentlemen. It was reported he made an estimated 100 to 150mil on that coca cola purchase couple with his net worth of 150mil. I say he got in the game to get paid and found rap as a hustle. I'd say he accomplished his goal. Some people try to make rap and hip hop sanctimonious and myopic of one mind set which it is not, its like everything in life diverse. I like some of 50 songs and I like aggressive content. I don't like any new underground rap, cause its a front. Rap isn't underground anymore its out front and personal. Rap hasn't been underground since the mid 90's, and its less underground since the Internet has become popular. Most if not all of rap is recycled messages, that's why it doesn't get played, when a so-called conscious rapper start donating monies and doing all those things he/she says he's going to change instead of just rap about it, then he/she will more credibility. At least 50 knows he's a problem and gives millions of dollars back through his g-unity foundation.
Lip service is all you pay, then their is no consciousness about you, you're just a talker. So make some money out of your medium and help the situation.Comment

Re: 50 Cent will quit if Kanye outsells him..
I'm curious to why Kanye gets hate from you. You can't tell me you don't feel some of his beats, especially before he blew up. The song "classic" with him Nas and Rakim, that song he had with Little Brother. All im saying is he does real hip-hop. The trash is songs like "whipe me down."Free The Birds!!!Comment
